I can understand being upset with repair prices, I would drop a load on the service floor if someone told me I needed to spend $1000 on my car. But then when I go to a restaurant and see that a bowl of soup is $5, that a set of MAC or Snap-On wrenches is over $600.... From what I've seen here the SVX doesn't seem to require much more $ than most cars - except for some trannys.
You're learning - keep your foot out of it (look who's talking
) and hold back on the mods. It's expensive enough just to feed and maintain a car. Remember, the more you use it the quicker you use it up.
